One of the major goals of the CRC877 is the high standard qualification and the support of young researchers. We therefore initiated an Integrated Research Training Group (IRTG) with the title `Proteases and Pathophysiology´.
Medical students are supported by a one year scholarship. In addition to the medical students, who are directly funded by the IRTG, all PhD students working in the research projects of the CRC are members of the IRTG and benefit from the courses and the continuing education offered by the IRTG.
